Founders and finance teams are stuck doing tedious work. All the time.

But automation isn't easy, and mistakes aren't an option. We built Cranston, AI that understands accounting, connects to your systems, and works with our expert CPAs.

Works with your existing systems

Many companies can't switch ERPs due to industry-specific requirements or legacy integrations.

Cranston sits on top of your existing infrastructure, QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, or custom systems. We connect to your data where it lives, so you don't have to rip and replace everything to get modern automation.

AI that actually understands accounting

Connecting to apps and data is hard. Making sense of it is harder.

Our AI is purpose-built for accounting workflows. It understands accrual vs. cash basis, journal entries, and flags anomalies. Licensed CPAs review everything.

Built for founders, controllers, and finance leaders

Nobody appreciates the accountants until something goes wrong.

We built Cranston to make your life easier: one centralized platform where you can manage all your financial data, automate repetitive tasks, and have confidence that expert CPAs are backing every transaction.

FULL-SERVICE BOOKKEEPING

Your dedicated bookkeeping & tax team, powered by AI

Cranston handles your monthly bookkeeping, payroll processing, and year-end tax preparation. Expert CPAs review everything and guide you through tax season.
